About Albert Ennedy

I am a retired person in my late fifties, married to my lovely wife, Brigitta (in the picture) for over 25 years. We have a daughter, Ashley, and a son, Edward, both of whom are in medical school. Hopefully they'll be able to help their aging father. :)

We moved to Southern California from Canada thirteen years ago and love it. We visited the desert a couple of times with some prejudice, I might add, but the more we came the more we enjoyed it.

Outdoor activities, the serenity and beauty of the desert, the air and the sky are all wonderful here. I find it healing, very relaxing to spend time here. The desert air, the stars at night, the whole environment is magical. There are places to visit, sights to see, trails to discover. It's an experience you'll want to return to. I hope you'll enjoy it too.

Why Albert Ennedy chose Borrego Springs

My family and I just wanted to have a desert retreat, but still have the amenities and conveniences of a town setting. This property is well located and comfortable. It has charm and character. The neighbors are friendly and quiet. All amenities are within a short distance, yet the desert is at our doorstep.

What makes this house unique

All the beauty, serenity, the air, the night sky, the magic of the desert is here for you. I like to sit out on the patio in the evening and watch as the sun sets over the mountains, lean back in my chair and marvel at the stars, or the morning sky at sunrise. Sometimes a bird like the road runner in my picture visits. It is the perfect place if your are looking for a relaxing, quiet location. But it also offers a lot of opportunity for an active lifestyle in the surrounding areas. We are in the De Anza Borrego Desert with trails to discover, sights to see, and to play and enjoy the desert. (Ample information is available on the internet.)

Beautiful Private Home

of 5

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this wonderful home. Incredibly private and safe location, and the house was very clean, spacious and comfortable. Loved coming back to this home at the end of each day of hiking and sightseeing and sitting on the back patio looking up at the stars. Additionally the owner was a pleasure to work with - very kind, prompt to respond, professional and accommodating. We can't wait to return!

We really enjoyed our few days in this home. The owner was available and easy to communicate and work with from beginning to end. He had the house ready, clean and stocked for our arrival. He was flexible with his schedule to meet us during our busy work day (which we very much appreciated) to check us in and out. This is a nice, quiet area. Beautiful views. Nice, clean, comfortable home. If you need a place in this area, this is the best. We will definitely call again to book if we are back in this area!

Comfortable, well maintained, clean house and it has all the amenities.

The neighbors are quiet and friendly.

This house offers everything that I need to enjoy my vacation in the desert. It is a good deal, I would recommend it to anyone looking to stay in Borrego Springs!

Family-friendly desert escape

of 5

Clean, comfortable, well-maintained house was perfect for our family of four. Neighborhood is quiet and safe, and is great for bicycling--in fact, the whole town is. Even better if you have mountain bikes because there are seemingly endless dirt roads crisscrossing the desert and leading to all the unusual metal sculptures around town. (And it was nice to have a clean, spacious garage in which to stow the bikes between rides.) Enjoyed seeing all the jackrabbits in the backyard. Owners are friendly, organized, and thoughtful; the house is well-stocked with the basics you need for a short stay. And they seem to be constantly improving things. When I first made the reservation, they mentioned there was no coffee maker at the house. By the time I got there, they had added one!

Owner's Response: Thank you for your kind review of our vacation home. We are happy that you and your wonderful family had a nice vacation in Borrego Springs and enjoyed staying at our vacation home. We'd love to have you any time you choose to vacation in our part of the world again.

ATV, Jeep rides. Julian, old gold mining town, within an hour's scenic drive. Julian nowadays is famous for its tasty apples and apple-pie. The Borrego Chamber of Commerce East of Christmas Circle, immediately on the left hand side as you go toward Salton Sea on 22, has a lot of information available. Also visit De Anza State Park Visitor Center at the end of Palm Canyon Drive. They can also provide a lot of useful information.
